Jeeze. What's the fun in being sarcastic if I have to point it out? If you
recall, I was responding to Michael's response in which he (a Pine user) Cc'ed
me and blamed it on the list owner of majordomo-users!

Well, that's a cool feature. It's too bad this list is still running on
Majordomo 1.96 so I could set it.

Even Jason Cc'ed me! Aargh. And he's not even a pine user.
